Hey all,

Please leave a comment on why you made your choice.

I am leaning more towards option 2.

OPTION 1 - URAS kit with 19's. With this option the car can not be lowered much as it be too low and hard to tackle drive-ways etc. This was the look (sort of) that we had on Cefiro. Looked great but was a bit hard as a daily.

OPTION 2 - Nissan Factory option kit with 19's and dropped. Low cars look hot in many ways. Would be easier as a daily driver. Parts would be stronger then the aftermarket kit. Leaves a little more in the pocket todo something else like interior,etc

OPTION 3 - No kit with 19 or 20's and dropped. This is what I call the "300C" look. with the right colour will look grat. same advantages as above. Con is less "modified" look.

with all options I will lip/roll and pump the rear a little. Might get a boot lip or no rear spoiler at all (it has a GTT rear wing at the moment). Thinking of a rear window spoiler. Eyelids are a must. Some sort of bonnet mod: ie: small vent on a side, large vent in the centre or BA XR8 bulge in the center. Interior work is on the list but in the air as the seats are mint...just needing a full steam clean everywhere. but having saying that a nice retrim would do the trick.

thanks for your opinions.

"No kit with 19 or 20's and dropped" without QUESTION. 20s preferably...and here are my reasons;

(1) The other options are far too common

(2) More practical to be driven (without a kit)

(3) R34 sedan suits the VIP look perfectly due to the rear arches sitting so much lower than the fronts...which makes it look 'lower'

My 2c!

Cheers,

Chris

I would go the no kit and riding on rims. Just make sure they're not some shitty 7" wide wheels. :)

Not only does not having a kit look better (at times), it'll be easier for you as a daily. I just like cars which look nice and simple. Having a kit will give you attention from cops and I'm sure no one wants attention from cops.

if i went a kit

i would go uras all the way round,

or at least side and back,then use the factory nismo front(with skyline written on the front)

an as far as i no its illegal to have 20's as the r34 come out with 17's

llegaly your only able to go up 2 sizes from factory

I'd pick Option 2:

The nissan factory kits actually look good at the same time being discreet. Wheel choice will play a big part and lowered is a definate.

The Uras kit has been done to death and although looks ok will not look any good if its not lowered.

Heres mine :D

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
